Google and other tech vendors have accused cloud providers, including Microsoft and Oracle, of uncompetitive behaviour in the public cloud market. The companies made their comments to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is considering competition and security issues in the sector. The FTC's interest in the public cloud reflects a trend among regulators to investigate the rapidly growing market, which is currently dominated by a handful of hyperscale providers.

The FTC put out its call for evidence in March, and it closed yesterday. It is "seeking public input on how the current market structure and business practices of cloud providers affect competition and data security," according to its chair Linda Khan.
